Public Library (Part-2)
Prince Perikles scanned the various bookshelves located at the various alcoves, each dedicated to the pursuit of one subject, be they be astronomy, philosophy, medicine, mathematics, literature, history, and even a few books on the natural sciences.
Just the collection on the first floor was breathtaking for the prince, as it included many famous books from both the territories of Adhania and Tibias.
And they were original prints at that!
Prince Perikles could not help but read a few lines from these legendary books just to see the words.
One of which was in the astronomy section, which described the history and use of the astrolabes.
Described in its simplest form, an astrolabe was a metal disc with a pattern of wires, cutouts, and perforations that allowed its user to calculate astronomical positions precisely.
